How to Prepare for Summer Internship

Title says it all. I’ll be interning at a PE shop this summer, and I’ve got a rough outline of prep (running through PF LBO course and BIWS Excel courses) for the month I have off before the internship starts. I’ve also been working on building fully integrated 3 statement models from a blank excel every so often. Any other advice on what to do to be technically prepared? I really want to earn the return offer and come back full time.
