Narrative:
Student pilot. I was attempting a short field landing. Upon entering the flare; wind was from 130 degrees at 9 KTS. Correcting for the crosswind; the plane was not headed straight down the runway. I attempted to correct the heading while applying the brakes. The plane lurched to the left; striking 2 runway lights and the propeller.
