Default Landing Advice...

After touchdown, I find the plane drifting to the
left, while the nose is pointing to the right. Applying further right
rudder seems to result in a squirrley/sliding feeling (not sure if I am
acutally sliding though, just afraid to push it any further).


Maybe you've picked up some wind. Surface winds are often different
from winds even slightly aloft. The plane needs to land straight (so
apply LEFT rudder to point the aircraft down the runway). It needs to
land with no drift (so apply RIGHT aileron to counteract the drift).
It's just regular crosswind correction, but you got surprised by
encountering a crosswind on touchdown.
