The Essence of Complaint

I am currently killin time before sleepiness, bloggin, facebookin, and listening to the love actually soundtrack because it makes my heart feel all fuzzy and warm and happy. Yay happy hearts :)
However, I am in a bit of a pickle (which is a nice change from the recent career catastrophe) WHICH BY THE WAY. Didn't get resolved at all. I had a small possible epiphany, but changed my mind, until Sunday, when I got the best advice so far. My friend Mike said "Marianne, be you, and be happy. You have alot going to you and shouldn't stress, because the future will work itself out." And so for now, I'm chilling on the matter.
Back to the pickle. Actually multiple pickles all related to one giant pickle. Like a vegetable tray. I have 3 more Arabic classes left in this semester.
Vegetable 1) The teacher has yet to tell us when the final is.
Vegetable 2) He refuses to give us a study guide.
Vegetable 3) We just started a new book today. Which apparently, will have most of the final material in it. Mind you we have 3 classes left.
Vegetable 4) The used book I ordered like 4 months ago was supposed to come with a DVD. I didn't realize this until today. It did however come with a creepy distorted kodak picture of a nice looking girl and this ugly curly haired kid with (what I assume to be) a worm that was once submerged in tequila, now stuck up his nose. What the hell.
Vegetable 5) The DVD that I should have obtained has most of the material for the final on it.

So I'm wondering....is this normal for a college class? I really don't want to be complaining if it is. But I never expected a professor to be so sporadic and unpredictable with the subject matter. Like seriously, he hasn't told us when the final will be. 3 classes left.

My question for you: my fault or the professor's? Am I unprepared or is this situation as odd as I think it is? Advice is appreciated.
