Pilot narrative

Verbatim, de-identified by NASA. Placeholders: ZZZ, X, Y.

At the end of my solo commercial lesson, I was doing a taxing back and I got instruction's from ATC to hold short of Runway XR and I Repeated back instructions but in my mind I thought they wanted me to line up and wait on the runway so I mistakenly lined up and waited for ATC instructions, A Skyhawk on a 0.5 miles final was issued a go around from Tower and immediately said they wanted to file a complaint. So Tower issued a possible pilot deviation to me and had me contact to give them to give my information. I believe that after nearly two hours of pattern and doing a 5.4hr cross country earlier in the day I was fatigued and my quality on performance was slowing. In future I will apply my IMSAFE & PAVE checklist more thoroughly before choosing to do night solo pattern after a day of flying.
