Narrative:

I just arrived from van nuys for my second cross country to santa barbara airport. I was given clearance to land on runway 15R. Once I landed, I was given directions to taxi at the end of the runway and was to hold short at runway 25. Upon arriving at the end of the runway, I switched my frequency to ground and performed my after landing checklist. At the runway, men were working on the runway and a man signaled me not to enter since the runway was newly constructed. Of course, as a student pilot, I was unfamiliar with other alternatives to taxi to my destination. I was very nervous and I know I had to communication to ground if I had permission to cross over the taxiway despite the road workers signals. I called ground and requested a different taxi route so that I could reach my destination. Ground called the road worker and gave me the go signal to cross over. This incident took about 8 mins to resolve due to my nervousness and uncertainty. On taxiing to the FBO, I followed the taxi lines. Proceeding to the destination I saw a twin engine from my far right that appeared that morning. Unknowingly I continued on quickly so that I would allow him to take off once I came clear. As I taxied across the plane remained still and I assumed tower told that plane to hold short after I crossed. After I crossed the plan, ground called and told me the plane was going to take off or was already moving to take off. Shocked with my mistake, I realized that the prior directions they gave me after I landed was deviated. Unfamiliar with the airport, nervous at the last incident at the end of runway 33, I totally forgot to hold short of runway 25. I immediately apologized to ground for my mistake due to my inexperience as a student pilot. As a result of the mistake it was very hard for me to go home to van nuys airport. I couldn't do anything else but to render my apology to tower.
