Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

I given was the alternative sentence of swap. so I had stay of execution to get setup. at the time turns out I wasn't able make it happen. my question is I want to get this done and get on with my life. I know that I will do the jail time. should I just turn self In, should i get put on the court calendar instead. and how likely will more time be added. I know its probably irrelevant but this is first and only time I been I'm trouble with law enforcement. I did. not waste these 4 years. I learned a skilled trade and depending on length of time I serve will have gainfull employment waiting at a long established business.
