Narrative:

Received taxi clearance: 1) taxi via taxiway K, taxiway H, hold short of taxiway F. 2) taxi via taxiway V2, runway 9, taxiway M to runway 3C. First officer said taxi taxiway V2, taxiway V. We failed to turn onto runway 9. 3) ground instructed taxi taxiway H2, taxiway H, hold short of taxiway H1. I missed that because it did not seem right and taxied via taxiway V holding short of taxiway H1. I wrote down clrncs, but was not sure of first clearance and failed to turn. Second clearance did not seem logical to get to runway 3C.
