Sophomore non-target, procurement internship? Ways to spin it on resume

Ok so long story short, I screwed the pooch first semester and couldn't come up with a good internship (interviewed with some commercial banks for corporate finance postions and a BBs BO/MO arm in another state).

Looks like a F500 company in my city is hiring in interns in the procurement department. They seem to really like me because I can start right away (for 2.5 days a week) and it would contiune in the summer. Money is good and I would like to save up some cash so I can afford some networking trips to NYC/Chicago, etc... and I might have to intern unpaid next year (junior yr summer), who knows.

Our career fair is coming up and I'm going to try for some internships there. One realistic option for sophs at my school is Accounting at a F50 firm. Another is an F25, but I kind of doubt they hire sophs for finance, but it has a good name and I heard it was a good internship. I would likely start in the summer with these places.

I tried looking up procurement on the internet and the recruiter told me it was kind of both finance and accounting. Looking at the job description, it sounds more accounting (but some internet sources make it sound like it is neither finance or accounting, but like a separate business facet). Recruiter also made it sound like having SAP on your resume would be really good (?).

I like it because they said I could start almost immediately, but I'm wondering if I could do better in the summer (time is kind of running out though).

Just thinking about how I can swing it on my resume to sound more finance-y and sell myself in interviews.

Thanks!
