Is it looked down upon as intern to sit with desks that you weren't assigned to?

In my upcoming SA S&T internship I will have three rotations.

I would like to sit with a desk I probably won't get assigned to. Is this looked at as disrespectful?

If I will sit at three desks during my rotations. Should I just sit with as many traders as possible on these three desks?

Thank You

Most banks do mini-rotations where you can spend an afternoon at a different desk every 2 weeks
