Didn't learn anything at my internship

Need advise. This summer, I've interned at a small regional M&A boutique and learned nothing. I've spent days doing administrative tasks, presentation formatting, and googling random things about private companies in the industry we worked in. Of course, I do not intend on coming back upon graduation. 

How screwed am I for FT recruiting? I can't speak about deals or financial modeling. Honestly, I am not even sure what I would say in the interview besides that I was a PPT kid who organized meetings and took notes.
