Does anyone think it is worth it to go for an internship at my LDS or would it jus be a waste of my time?

That depends on what you are looking to get from it.
Are you getting credit for gear/lessons?
Looking to learn to be a retail/Inst. so you can take off for claer/warm water.
Wanting to learn the bizz. so you can open your own shop?
I ran a shop for years and we had lots of "Interns" for the above reasons, just let that LDS know the real reason you want to be there and make sure they are giving you what you want in return for your being there.

umm wat i wanted was jus basically to learn stuff really and mayb to get credit on gear or wateva.. but the main reason is jus to spend some time around gear and divers
Then yes it can be a great learning experience.
Just be ready to fill tanks a nd rince gear and feel like your doing alot of Grunt work.

and a good way when dealing with Business and customers is to lay off the IM chat. 
If you approach your internship with an open mind and are willing to dig in and get dirty you can learn a lot. Which is good, because there is a lot to learn.
I wish you luck, and applaud your willingness to become an intern in the first place.
Good for you.

GA Under Water:and a good way when dealing with Business and customers is to lay off the IM chat.
100% agree. :no
An internship is what I did, but, paid the prices for the courses, DM, that I was taking. Took 6 months, but I think, I learned alot working with real students instead of other candidates as in alot of courses.
DO the intership..worth the experience..and as they said above..layoff IM chat mumbo jumbo...
