Preparing for Private Debt SA?

Hello all, I'll be a Private Debt SA starting June 2023. I've only recently become interested in PDI, and my intellectual curiosity, previous internship experience, and understanding of the process were enough to get me an offer.How should I best prepare for the internship, especially from a modeling standpoint? What books should I read? I'm especially interested in more opportunistic investing. Thank you!
