First investment banking internship

Hey all, I currently finished up my first year of college as a business major and just wrapped up finals. I have my first IB internship with a boutique starting a month from now and was wondering how I could best prepare. I have not yet taken any finance or economics courses, modeling courses, and know very little about the industry. Does anyone have suggestions on an online class or modeling program I could work my way through during these 4 weeks I have off.
