I still take a peek at it every other day to make sure that I didn't forget anything, or if there is anything I should add now that its been a few weeks since I edited it.

That semi-colon should be a period and there should be an apostrophe in "its". Putting "that" between "thought" and "it" would also be better form. You have failed your grammar Nazi exam.
Fluitaire:
Howdy, I'm Fluitaire (pronounced Flu It Tair) I'm an avid reader, archer, gamer and proud Nerd. I'm a Duck who just liked to help people and point out the manual, which I found out very few people actually bothered to read. Now I guess I'm a CA. So your stuck with me till Muse bashes my face in with a spanner. 8P (Please not the money maker!) If I see them bashing any of your faces in I'll give Muse the face of my avatar alrighty? Then I will hide so they don't do it to me. Next order of business...
I Fluitaire, before the presence of the Holy Whale of the skies, do hereby declare my unwavering faith, fealty and service to the community of Icarus.
I pledge to follow the orders of all Muse staff appointed over me, and field all the questions, great and small, difficult or annoying, addressed to me be they by the person, or the mob.
I will keep myself mentally sane, reasonably sober and regularly available as is necessitated by the Community Ambassador agreements and forms to which I have pledged my unconditional adherence.
So say we all.

The ; is connecting two similar ideas that have the ability to stand on their own- it is correct to use a semi-colon or a period.
There should not be an apostrophe in the red "its", however, it should be "it has" instead. "Its" would be "it is" and "now that it is been a few weeks" would be incorrect. This is an error that I will chalk up to the fact that I wrote all of this during class. I will take fourty lashes regardless.
| I thought it was / I thought that it was | is an interchangeable phrase, and both are correct. The first phrase is more clear from a grammar perspective; the second phrase has a more passive voice from a narrative perspective.
