How to prepare for IB SA

I am working at an MM bank (think Jeff, William Blair, HL) this summer and I want to know how I can best prepare to receive a return offer. The thing is I am currently abroad and don't want to get rusty or lose my IB prep. What do you guys think I should do? Will abroad make me stupid.
