Narrative:
During taxi to runway 6, misinterpreted how to taxi to the active runway, I'd crossed the active runway 6 without clearance. The ground control told me that I was on the wrong way and told me to taxi back and hold short runway 6. After clearance from ground control I crossed runway 6 and taxied to holding runway 6 for departure. Ground control told me to hold short runway 6. I misinterpreted the radio communication and taxied onto the runway 6. The control tower told me then to taxi to the ramp and call tower by phone to have explanation. Upon returning to school, I've done a debriefing with my instructor about the events and how to correct my mistakes. After that we decided to do a dual flight for practice and review ground communications and procedures at controled tower airport. Human factor: it was my first solo cross country into tower controled airport and I was stressed.
