Strain is the change in dimensions per unit original dimensions. For example, if your stretch a 100 cm long wire by 5 cm, Strain = 5/100 = 0.05

How do you find the original length if you are given the strain and the extended length?

Use the formula Strain=Extension/original length and rearrange to give Original length=Extension/Strain. Substitute the values you have for the strain and the extended length into the equation and voila! Source: Doing A-level (senior high-school in America) Maths and Physics.

When are you going to study physics?

In terms of me physically studying it, never again as I suffered terribly in my lessons. In terms of in life, through secondary school, then college, then Uni, then further on in an institute of physicists. In terms of requirement, If you study engineering, for example, you will most likely study physics for forces, stress and strain, aerodynamics etc...
