Struggling in my internship. Will it look bad for SA recruiting.

Title Above. I'm a sophomore that is currently interning at a really good boutique in the west coast. The work has been challenging and very rewarding as I am seeing an M&A deal from the start to finish(tbd). One issue is that I feel like I haven't been performing too well. I've struggled to balance my workload with school and I feel like I'm making a lot of errors/mistakes at my internship. I was wondering is this a bad look for SA recruiting? I'm really trying and putting my best forward but its certainly been very challenging.
