Narrative:
Turned opposite direction on taxiway a departing cargo area. Confused since cleared opposite direction from normal routing to runway 25L for takeoff. Ground control very busy and clearance misunderstood. No conflict with other aircraft, but ended up at wrong spot from where ground control had wanted us.
