Would think back to the conversations where this was brought up and consider whether this was really an "option" or really a "strong suggestion." If it's truly optional you are fine, but many of things that were suggested to me as being optional in my IB days were not. I've unknowingly done damage in situations like that and only found out years after when people were comfortable telling me.

 

Tell them you'll take the year off, and around mid-way through if you're not using your time well ask if you can start early.
