After exactly one month, my first aquarium is fully cycled!
0 ammonia, 0 nitrites, 20ppm nitrates and 7.6pH!

Thanks to everyone who offered their advice!

Nice! What did you do to accomplish it? Partial water changes?

I changed the water twice at the very beginning, and then only added 2.5g or so from evaporation occasionally for the last two weeks. I made a gravel vac with a powerhead to recycle the water and still suck up all the solids. I also kept some other creatures in the tank (goldfish, snails, pleco), I think that may have sped things up a little.
