Best way to prepare for HF internship?

Hey guys, so I will be spending my sophomore summer at a very large and reputable MM HF basically serving as an ad-hoc assistant to several PMs. The role is by nature very vague in terms of expectations, so I wanted to see if anyone on WSO had experience going into one of these mostly self-guided junior roles and any recommendations they may have to make the most of it and add value.
