The fact that you made that mistake, pattern is full, after looking at the same info available to the Captain, is revealing. Our own aircraft were fitted with on airport nav system a while back. On the face of it, it makes this sort of mix-up impossible. In reality, turn offs and intersections aren't marked very clearly; while the system is valuable in helping prevent runway incursions, it's not so useful at identifying a particular entry/exit point.
