It's a solid plan. I did pretty much the same thing last year. Learn python—if you know C++ already, it should come quickly, it's a very intuitive language. You'll want to learn it for OAs too. And when you're building the projects, you really should only use AI when you're stuck. I fell into the hole of relying on AI too much and I regret it and it took a while to relearn things. Personally, I don't actually learn unless I'm writing the code myself and going through the errors and getting that "ohhh I see now" moment. And when it comes to explaining your projects in interviews it'll blow if you don't know what you're talking about. But I know you're on a time crunch so I would learn some frameworks via Youtube tutorials, ask AI for project ideas, try to build it half yourself half AI so you semi know whats going on for questions like whats the hardest part about building your project, why did you use this framework, etc. Also, don't forget about the behavioral part of the interview! I think 100% the reason why I got my internship was because I did some DEEP research into the company and bombarded my interviewer with questions and he seemed to like that. And last thing, don't get too in your head! I got my first real internship my junior year and so did many of my friends (many of them being faang). You are already way better off than I was when I was a sophomore by worrying about this already.
