Preparation for Summer Internship?

Is there anything that I should do in the months leading up to my IBD summer internship? Has anyone taken an excel course, read any books, or done anything to prepare for their internship? I have also been told that I will learn nearly everything on the job, but I would love to get anyone's personnel opinion/experience.
