I really need help...

Hey everyone

I am now having my internship in corporate finance department in one of the investment banks from China. It is my very first time to work in corp fin. I worked in asset management and marketing in last two year internship(I am year three now). However, coz I do not have related experience, my colleagues do not assign any works to me. I only sit in front of computer and do nothing everyday. Sometimes i may help them to do some research bit that's all.

I an wondering what things should i learn myself in this internship period? Like financial modelling and how to use Bloomberg(i don't know how to use it). Anything else should i learn as well?
