Summer internship ideas?

Some context: Senior (graduating May/June 2015) at HYP, did ER in sophomore year and IBD in the same BB junior year. I already have an FT IBD gig lined up, but I have about 2 months in between graduation and starting, and I was wondering if would be possible to squeeze an internship in between? Have always been interested in VC, so I'm looking for a stint to kill 2 months of utter boredom.

Now, before you tell me to get a life... Traveling is nice, but I already burnt through my summer internship savings by traveling around South America and Europe during winter break (and this upcoming spring break). I'm not exactly looking to "hang out with bros" for 2 whole months...
