Try to know as much as you can on the industry/ies you will be covering and gather some info on the previous deals that your firm has worked on. This will help you accelerating training/adaptation. On a 10 weeks internship you really want to get yourself useful as fast as possible. A part of that make sure to have some knowledge on the data base that your company's using and review your technical stuff.
Keep a list of every mistake you make or piece of feedback you recieve and look at it before you submit each deliverable - that will prevent you from making the same mistake twice.
From a techincal perspective - if you have downtime you should practice modeling. Once you have gotten the basics of the training model you'll use down - you can then go find more advanced models in the share drive and try to understand them / replicate them.
