Calculate integral $\displaystyle{\int_L {\bar{z}^2}}\,dz $ where $L$ is a circular arc shown on the figure below:

The equation for the curve is defined to be

$$L(t) = 3i + 3e^{it}$$ for $\frac{\pi}{2} \geq t\geq \frac{-\pi}{2}$

Also, $L'(t)=3ie^{it}$

We're given that $f(z)=\overline{z}^2$ so all we have to do is parametrize the equation:

\begin{align*}

\int_{L}f(z)dz&=\int_{\pi/2}^{-\pi/2}(\overline{3i+3e^{it}})^2(3ie^{it})dt \\
&=3i\int_{\pi/2}^{-\pi/2}(-3i+e^{-it})^2(e^{it})dt \qquad\color{red}{\text{Misprint}}\\
&=3^3i\int_{\pi/2}^{-\pi/2}(i-e^{-it})^2(e^{it}) dt \\
&=3^3i\int_{\pi/2}^{-\pi/2}(-1-2ie^{-it}+e^{-2it})(e^{it})dt \\
&=3^3i\int_{\pi/2}^{-\pi/2}(-e^{it}-2i+e^{-it})dt \\
&=-3^3i\int_{\pi/2}^{-\pi/2}(e^{it}-e^{-it}+2i)dt \\
&=-3^3i\left[\frac{1}{i}e^{it}+\frac{1}{i}e^{-it}+2it\right]^{-\pi/2}_{\pi/2} \\
&=\frac{-3^3i}{i}\left[e^{it}+e^{-it}+2i^2t\right]^{-\pi/2}_{\pi/2} \\
&= -3^3\left[e^{it}+e^{-it}-2t\right]^{-\pi/2}_{\pi/2} \\
&= -3^3[(e^{-i\pi/2}+e^{i\pi/2}-2(-\pi/2))-(e^{i\pi/2}+e^{-i\pi/2}-2(\pi/2))] \\
&= -3^3[(-i+i+\pi)-(i-i-\pi)] \\
&= -3^3[\pi+\pi] \\
&= -54\pi
\end{align*}

Care to elaborate?
Where did I go wrong?
