Narrative:

It's my second day operating on this airport (bethel, ak). Yesterday I was landing runway 36 and the tower told me several times to turn off on runway 29 to parking. Today I was landing runway 18, there were several planes behind me, and the tower was busy talking to them. I wanted to get off as soon as possible so that the other planes could land. My mistake was that I turned off on runway 29 without permission. I understand that I need permission to turn off on runway 29 now -- it will not happen again.
