You can log into your Google account and restore your apps, contacts, bookmarks, anything you told Google to auto back up. It's likely that didn't include pictures, texts, music, etc. If you've been making regular backups at home you'll be able to restore those at home - if not... well now you know how important it is to back up regularly. Don't feel bad, it usually takes something like this to get people to back up regularly. It's always "I'll do it later" until it happens to you.

I think you have to be connected to WiFi to get a restore done. You may have to do a full reset of the phone, and then when it boots up, and asks you for your Google account, it should ask you if you want to restore a phone from the most recent backup. It won't restore your files in ES Explorer, but it will restore your apps and some settings.
