Summer Analyst - Not much work?

Currently, I'm working as an IB SA, but I feel like although I'm staffed on several projects, my workload is tremendously light this summer, and I feel like should be doing more work or taking on additional projects (considering the stories I've heard). I'm wary of taking on more because of the potential ramp-up from my existing projects, but also feel a bit guilty cause it feels like my teams' analysts and associates are getting overworked.

Is it normal to feel this way at times? Am I just being a dumbass and should I just relax while I can?
