Starting an internship Monday - Have almost no idea about IB help!

I'm freaking out both in a good way and a bad way. I'm graduating soon and always wanted to specialise in equities or asset management

My mentor suggested she knew someone at a global bank and could get my foot in the door. I agreed. Except I find out now that it's for IB. Unpaid 2 weeks. I dont mind the duration and that it's unpaid, I'm excited to learn. But what I'm scared as shit for is that I have almost no experience in IB

I've stalked this forum for years and know the crazy training you guys do to get in. I did that in my first year and stopped when I realised how awesome equity markets are. I know the financial statements, I can do a decent DCF and I did two really good programs about IB from IEUK. But that's it

I need advice guys. Yes I know yall hate me for being a nepo hire but Im staying 2 weeks max. I cant afford to be stupid. I'm watching youtube playlists and stalking old WSO threads. 

I feel like I'm thrown into the pacific with a small lifebuoy. Helpp. I just need a starter guide on what to focus on.
